Raiders version of McGlockton especially was good but -and not a stat guy so don't care to look it up but feel free to correct me if I'm off, doubt I am- he definitely played less seasons and games but I'd bet has at least double-digit more "stuffs" than Young, on the flip side has a lot less sacks but could get to the passer, better getting into passing lanes and disrupting the passing game, tipped balls and so on and for sure forced/caused/contributed to more turnovers/was better at getting the ball back for his offense than Young. Again, while playing in less games, his totals/or per season avg. on everything [meaningful stat wise] sans sacks would be higher. Yet, I've never seen anyone hype him up for the HOF. Unless I missed it? Though, could ask Mark Schlereth since he actually did play against McGlockton.
Chester was actually named on a list Schlereth made of toughest guys he played against. At least he actually played against Chester in games that had meaning....unlike Young.

Should Carnell Lake be a HOF'er? 5PBs, 1 AP, All 90s 2nd team. Pretty much the same as Young. Where is your and other's campaign for him?
